So here is the question I have: when we run out, is there *anything* that will reasonably allow an ISP to *not* deploy carrier grade NAT? Assuming that it's death for the ISP to just say no to the long tail of legacy v4-only sites?
One thing that occurs to me though is that it's sort of in an ISP's interest to deploy v6 on the client side because each new v6 site that lights up on the internet side is less traffic forced through the CGN gear which is ultimately a cost down. So maybe an alternative to a death penalty is a molasses penalty: make the CGN experience operable but bad/congested/slow :) Mike On 04/25/2013 07:12 AM, Arturo Servin wrote:
Yes. We figured this out and we are starting a program (or a set of activities) to promote the deployment of IPv6 in what we call "End-users organizations" (basically enterprises, universities). We are seeing much lower adoption numbers than our ISP's categories. One basic problem that we have found when talking with enterprises is that the perceived value of deploy v6 is near to zero as they have v4 addresses (universities) or NAT.
